2004 Beneteau 423

The Beneteau 423 is a 42-foot fiberglass sailing yacht built on a proven design that has earned widespread recognition for its balance of performance and comfort. This 2004 model features a 55-horsepower Volvo diesel engine, a 12.92-foot beam, and a 5-foot-7-inch standard keel. The boat carries in-mast furling main and genoa sails alongside a cruising spinnaker, supported by electric Lewmar genoa winches and an electric cabin-top winch for ease of handling.

The two-cabin, two-head owner's version provides comfortable accommodation for extended cruising. Key systems include a Raymarine Axiom+ 12 chartplotter and Quantum radar installed in 2025, an Evolution autopilot from 2021, a bow thruster, and CruiseAir air conditioning and heating. Navigation and sail control are enhanced by Raymarine electronics and quality deck hardware including Garhauer stainless steel davits.

Recent upgrades and replacements include a PYI Max-Prop feathering propeller, running rigging, and an engine raw water pump, all completed in 2025. Dinghy equipment comprises a Nu Way 10-foot inflatable and Suzuki 9.9-horsepower outboard engine, both from 2024. A custom dodger and bimini provide protection from the elements. The boat has been maintained professionally and bottom paint and keel resurfacing are scheduled for 2026.
